I grew up a Detroit Red Wings fan, and Steve Yzerman was my favorite player. He wore 19. I wear 19 every weekend when I play ice hockey, because of him.

The woman who encouraged me to join this contest was born on the 19th of September.

As I go off to bed, tonight, I occupy 19th place in this little contest of ours.

Now, that doesn't mean I've won ... no; that honor is still 254 readers away from my position ... but it does mean that I've gotten amazing support in a very short period of time (it also means there's a hell of a lot of 19 in my life). I feel good.

I feel immense gratitude toward all of my supporters.

Thank you. And good night.
